VITAL VALUE OF THE WAR-GARD^I 



THIS publication treats of the 
lighter side of the war garden 
movement and the canning and drying 
campaign. Fortunately a national 
sense of humor makes it possible for 
the cartoonist and the hmnorist to 
weave their gentle laughter into the 
fabric of food emergency. That they 
have winged their shafts at the w^ar 
gardener and the home canner serves 
only to emphasize the vital value of 
these activities. 

The producing season of 1918 has 
seen tremendous growth in war garden- 
ing and home conservation. These 
activities were inaugurated on a na- 
tional scale in 1917. At that time they 
were regarded as emergency measures 
made necessary by America's entry 
into the world war as an active belhg- 
erent. With the prolongation of the 
conflict their value has been greatly 
increased. From a land of plenty the 
United States has become a land with 
a war-time food problem akin to that 
with which Europe has been face to face 
for four years. Each day of the war's 
continuance will render this problem 
more acute. The American war gar- 
den has already proved its worth in 
helping to solve this problem. As the 
war goes on this will increase. 

Among American war agencies the 
National War Garden Commission has 
occupied unique position. Estabhshed 
as a patriotic contribution on the part 
of a few public spirited men, the 
Commission has become a recognized 
institution. This recognition has been 
accorded by the United States Govern- 
ment through various departments and 
branches and by foreign nations. It 
has brought to the Conunission the co- 
operation of Federal, State, County, 
and City govermiients and of every 
type of local agency. 

One of the leading achievements of 
the Commission during 1918 has been 
to demonstrate the possibility of food 
production by the army at the camps 
and cantonments throughout America. 
The demonstration was made at Camp 
Dix, New Jersey. At the request of 
the War Department the Commission 



%<^ 



provided seed, farming equipment 
and fertilizers for planting a war 
garden of between three and four 
hundred acres at the camp. This 
garden has been worked by a regularly 
organized farm company of a strength 
of from 165 to 225 men. The results 
in simplifying the food problem of the 
Army are of such importance as to 
justify the belief that next year will see 
camp war gardening on a national scale. 

Another important phase of the work 
of the Commission has been coopera- 
tion with the United States Bureau of 
Education in stimulating war garden- 
ing among the nation's school children. 

Through international relationships, 
the Commission has done much to 
cement the friendship between America 
and other countries of the world. 
This is especially true of the Allied 
nations. In England, France, Bel- 
gium and other countries across the 
Atlantic, in Canada, in Australia and 
in Cuba and the Philippines, close 
affiliation has been welcomed by 
government authorities and by vari-. 
ous agencies concerned with the food 
question. One example of interna- 
tional cooperation is that conducted 
throughout Canada by the Canada 
Food Board in conjunction with this 
Commission. South America has also 
manifested deep interest. 

In the UniteU States the Com- 
mission's preliminary survey of war 
gardening in 1918 indicates an in- 
crease of more than 40 per cent over 
the number of gardens planted in 
1917. The figures show approximately 
five million gardens with a probable 
value of half a billion dollars. 

For this achievement too much 
credit cannot be given to the periodical 
and newspaper press of America and 
other countries. The Commission is 
deeply sensible of the cordial and un- 
wavering help given by the newspapers 
and magazines. Without this help 
the work could not have been done. 

To the cartoonist, humorist and 
others whose material is herein re- 
produced, the Commission makes 
grateful acknowledgment.

Garden Wisdom 

RANDOM extracts from the 
writings of Arthur (Bugs) 
Baer, of the New York World: 

"All over our former RepubUcan 
States war gardens are being 
launched, with a patriotic waving 
of elbows and a star-spangled 
outburst of seeds. Launching a 
war garden is a very intricate 
matinee. When they launch a 
war vessel the skids are put under 
the vessel. But when they launch 
a war garden the skids are placed 
under the gardener. 

"A "^ar garden is a gob of land 
situated as close to the ground as 
possible. The idea is to barrage 
it with a flock of seed shrapnel 
which will eventually bloom and 
produce something besides blisters 
on the hands and pains in the 
suspenders from bending over. 
A seed is a young berry which is 
buried in the ground and patted 
in the face with a spade. The 
interment is private, only a few 




turn a war garden over on its 
shoulder blades with one claw tied 
behind its ears. 

"After a few skirmishes with 
the neighbors' chickens your gar- 
den wears a womed look hke a 
suburbanite who is always two 
jumps behind his train and one 
jump ahead of the rent. It is 
emptier than a cruller with the 
rim gone. It won't even support 
an echo. The nap is all worn off."

CLEVER POSTER USED BY THE UNITED STATES 
SCHOOL GARDEN ARMY 



A War-like Crop 

It was inevitable that Cartoonist Herri- 
man should initiate his favorite creations. 
Baron Bean and Grimes, into the mysteries 
of the war garden. Grimes is pictured as 
puzzled over, a strange series of popping 
sounds from the Baron's back yard. 

"T wonder what it is," he exclaims. 

"It's pop-corn, you skwint, if you want 
to know,'' replies tlie Baron. 

"Why don't you plant somelliing more 
peaceful?" asks Grimes. 

"This is a war garden, Ole Dear," is the 
Baron's retort, as he playfulh' hammers 
Grimes over the head with a rake. 



$41.91. These tools are not to use on 
your own garden, but to lend to your 
neighbors. You do your own work with 
tools borrowed from one neighbor Avhile 
another neighbor is xising the ones you 
bouglit. Garden tools ar(> like a circulat- 
ing library, only very few of the things 
come back. You must also have a large 
sui>ply of monkey wrenches, Stilson 
wrenches, hammers, saAvs, screw-drivers, 
etc., because the neiglibors who liorrow your 
garden tools will naturally- hesitate to ask 
you to come over and fix 'em when they get 
out of whack, but will be glad to boiTow the 
tools to fix 'em with. So you just gotta 
have plenty of implements and tools. 




Gathering the Crop 

ONE gardener quar- 
relled with his wife 
over the first fruit o^. the 
family garden. He 
claimed the growth was 
one of his succotash. She 
insisted it was one of her 
sweet pickles. While they 
quarrelled their charm- 
ing niece dug it up. • 

"Oh, dear," she com- 
plained. "Must I do it 
all? Why don't you get 
busy and take out a weed 
when you see it?" 



THE LURE 



Clubb in Rochester Herald. 



Worms Wm Win the War 

One industrious war gardener is pictured 
as working busily and reflecting on the 
virtue of raising his own food supply. 

"If everybody grew theii' own vege- 
tables and ate less meat," he soliloquized, 
"we'd put old Bill on the bum in a hurry. 
This is tough work but I'll stick to it if it 
MUs me. I'm with Hoover on this." 

At this point a fine assortment of earth 
Avorms was unearthed. The digger's re- 
flections immediately shifted to a shady 
stream and the final scene shows him 
happily fishing. 

"Oh, well," he reflects to soothe his con- 
science, "vegetables or fish; it's all the same 
to Mr. Hoover." 



Love's Labor Lost 

During his siimmer ex- 
cursion in war garden- 
ing, cartoonist C. A. 
Voight exploited Petey 
Dink as planning to 
plant succotash in a 
space which he had spad- 
ed at much expense of 
labor and physical 
fatigue. As he finished 
the spading his wife ap- 
peared on the scene. She 
was filled with dismay at 
what she found, 
dear, Avhat have you 
at him. "You've dug 



"Oh, Petey, 
done?" she flung 
up the plot where I had my beans planted." 

Poor Petey fainted. 




If New Yorkers are to cultivate 12,000 
farm-gardens this summer, as Mr. Hoover 
asks, they will have to arrange a schedule 
by which their roof gardening won't inter- 
fere with their war-gardening.

The Gardener's Plaint 

By "Touchstone". 

I WANT to lie supine upon the grass 
With the blue vault of heaven arching 
over. 
To watch the fleecy cloudlets as they pass, 
To hear the murmurous bees among the 
clover. 
Such were, indeed, a fitting interlude 

'Twixt the recurring frenzies of the poet. 
Alas ! if man to-day hath need of food 
He has to up and grow it. 

Therefore, behold me with my fork and hoe 
At work upon my small but neat allot- 
ment, 
Earthing the spud— :a task for which I 
know 
That I was most emphatically not meant. 
Alack! for those two ancestors of mine. 
The temptress Eve, the weak and greedy 
Adam 
Who needs must go and overstep the lino, 
Confound you, sir and madam! 

But that was in the very distant past, 
The active villain of the piece comes 
later, 

Fit for the part in which he has been east. 
Whose sins, I trow, are infinitely greater, 

Sin<'e he is obviouslv most to blame 



To concentrate on him were surely 
wiser. 
And while I toil I fervently exclaim, 
"Oh! you-know-what the Kaiser!" 

— From The London Daily Mail. 



Lasting Well 

"I am surprised to see you have such a 
quantity of preserves left over from last

"Nobody could get the lids off," ex-

"To think of garden scenes. 

Of carrots, beets and artichokes, 
Of squash and lima beans ; 

Of why the canner's boihng hot 
And how to dry your greens." 



For the war gardeners the Government

in your garden and on the Kaiser's progress 
at the same time. Every corn you raise 
is another corn in the imperial boot. By 
adding the hma bean you can make the 
Kaiser the sucker in succotash.

His War Garden 

Mrs. Flatbxjsh: Oh, John, there are 
two chickens fighting in our garden! 

Mk. Flats ush: Well, let 'em fight. 
I've got to have some excuse for caUing it 
a war garden, haven't I? 



One newspaper reminds its readers that 
war-garden tan is just as good as the vaca- 
tion kind and costs a heap less. It might 
have added, for the woman gardener's 
particular benefit, that every freckle her 
nose acquires while being sun-kissed in the 
vegetable patch is a badge of honor. 

The chances are she'd regard a freckle 
on the nose as an honorable scar, rather 
than a badge. 



Ward Four woman invited in a friend to 
see her Avar garden. Friend naturally e.x- 
])ected to be escorted into the back yard. 
Judge of her surprise when she was taken 
to the bathroom and there, down behind the 
tub, mushrooms were gro-w'ing — a sort of 
fungus development from the wood.

The pressure was 
too much and the 
guest was forced to 
forego his day of rest 
and weed the garden. 

' ' I hope John didn't 
think I was hinting," 
the hostess said to 
Mrs. John, as they 
left him at work. 

"Such a thought 
would never enter his 
mind," was the re- 
assiu-ing reply of the 
devoted wife.

keep chickens this 
year and let my 
neighbor make the 
garden." 



The Day oi Rest 

ONE of the pathetic victims of other 
peoples' war garden enthusiasm was 
Mr. John, the hero of Maurice Ketten's 
" Day of Rest " cartoons. Invited to 
spend a week-end with friends, John was 
delighted with the opportunity to rest. 

"This is my garden, 
Mr. John," said his host- 
ess proudly, showing him 
over her grounds. "It's 
full of weeds." 

"Too bad," said the 
guest, but without en- 
thusiasm. 

"It's a shame to lose 
my vegetables," persist- 
ed the hostess, "but I 
can't find anybody to 
work." 

"Too bad," repeated 
John, feeling what was 
coming. 

"It's a crime to let 
good food go to waste 
now," ventured Mrs. 
John, looking at her 
lijLisband, coaxingly. 

"Don't you hate to 
see all those vegetables 
being spoiled by weeds, 
Mr. John?" the hostess 
persisted. 



Inmates of Pennsylvania's insane asy- 
lums are working in war gardens to aid 
in the fight against the Hun. "Crazy like

THE CANNERS AS SEEN BY A COMMISSION CARTOONIST 

21 




OUR JANUARY GARDENING 

Of course we liked our garden when we viewed the 

lettuce beds, 
And picked the tender ears of corn, and counted 

cabbage heads! 
It took a lot of work to plant and weed and hoe 

and prune. 
But then, we liked our garden! 'Twas a thin.'^; 

of art in .Tune! 
But now that winter blusters and all prices soar 

and soar 
And we can hear the H. C. L. a-scratching at tlie 

door. 
And mother opens home canned corn or peas or 

beets or greens! 
Say! Takes all year to show folks what a garden 

really means! 

Martha Hart in Dps Moines Tribune 



"The time has eome," the burbank said, 

"To Avork a fruitful graft. 
We'll cross the soil with garden seed 

And rake it fore and aft; 
And then we'll have so much to eat 

We'll look like wilvumtaft."

said. 



IF 

TF you can waste your food while thoR? 

-'- about you 

Are saving theirs with all their might and 

main; 
If you think we can win this war without 

you, 
Or think it's just your chance for private 

gain; 
If you can loaf while everybody's working, 
And make no move to help your Uncle Sam, 
But spend your days in idle, worthless 

shirking 
And show that you don't care a tinker's 

dam; 

If you are happy only when you're carving 
A big and juicy joint of prime roast beef, 
And have no thought for people who are 

starving, 
And save no meat to furnish them relief; 
If you permit your worthless heart to 

harden 4 

To Europe's eager cry for bread and meat. 
And utterly refuse to make a garden 
To lielp increase oiu- stock of stuff to eat; 

I SAY — if you can live in this poor fashion 
And be as heedless as you were before, 
You're lost to all respect and all com- 
passion; 
YOU'RE JUST A SLACKER, MAN, 
AND NOTHING MORE; 

BUT IF you save whatever you are able, 
And help to feed the men who go to fight, 
By raising beans and cabbage for your 

table. 
So Uncle Sam may feed his soldiers right; 
If you will start your backyard garden 

■ growing, 
Why, then, you'll have a right to crow and 

BRAG, 
For you'll be making just as good a showing 
As those who cross the sea to save the flag.

Help On the Food 
Work 

If you can't raise 
chickens yourself, you 
can at least encourage 
those who can. Plant 
a garden. 

The average size war 
garden can be persuaded 
to pay the average fami- 
ly's income tax. 



If you can't plant a 
war garden, at least you 
can refrain from sowing 
Avild oats to offset other 
people's gardens these 
busy days. 



One thoughtful para- 
grapher observes that 
many a man who thinks 
he could manage the 
entire country can't even 
manage his own back- 
yard garden. This obser- 
vation prompts another 
writer to declare thiat as 
a general thing that sort 
of a fellow has no back- 
yard garden.

Clean over the top we will travel, 

As soldiers of hoe and of spade; 
We're digging the earth and the gravel. 

We're getting our war gardens made. 
To-day is no time for the slacker, 

And war has no place for the shirk; 
When you find slacker land take it firmly in hand. 

And if it won't fight, make it work.

That is free from battle news — 
Wholly free from blood and thunder! 

You can read it if you choose.

to write in her autograph album. She said 
it must be something she could show her 
mother. The gi*eat humorist dipped his 
pen in the ink and wrote : 

"'Never teU a he.' 

"'Beautiful,' said the girl, in a shghtly 
disappointed voice; but Mark wasn't done 
yet. He dipped his pen in the ink again 
and added: 

"'Except to keep in practice.'"

strangely inadequate. They contain only 
common varieties of food which do not ap- 
peal to me. I love pdle de foie gras, but 
it isn't listed. Neither can I find apricots 
nor maraschino cherries. I must have the 
latter. My heart is set on having cherry 
beds under the Lodge windows. 

I shall need large quantities of mint and 
dinner raisins, and may as well raise my 
own olives and make 
my own oil — then there 
will be no question of 
impurity. Kindly send 
catalogues of the best 
foods by special mes- 
senger. 

Have ordered several 
smart gardening frocks, 
with droopy hats to 
match and can hardly 
wait to wear them. War 
work is intensely inter- 
esting and I am more 
than glad I took it up. 
I have not felt bored 
since last Friday. 

P. S. Sm-ely yon have 
blueberry bulbs ? Send 
a large quantity by 
mounted messenger. We 
all like blueberry pie. 

It seems strange that 



you have no other seed 
catalogues! And I am 
also extremely surprised 
at your advice to raise 
only beans and potatoes! 
They are so prosaic that 
I fear I should lose in- 
terest and, besides, we 
have splendid statuary 
on the grounds. I do 
not think it would look 
just right to see "Naomi 
Shielding Her Child" in 
the middle of a potato 
patch — or "Diana Hid- 
ing" in beans! Ther'e- 
fore I shall conform to 
my original plan of rais- 
ing the things of which 
I am specially fond. 

I feel that you de- 
serve severe criticism for 
not being able to supply 
everything asked for. 
But if you cannot do so, 
I must go elsewhere. 

As I finished the above 
sentence a seed salesman 
called — very opportune- 
ly — who can furnish 
everything I want. He was very helpful 
in assisting me to mark out small citron 
groves, fig plots and picturesque little 
palm gardens, which will be beautified 
by almond vines and walnut shrubs. 
In one section of the grounds I planned 
a miniature coffee plantation. 

The war has inflated seed prices frighl-

Have just caught my 
men in the very act of 
spreading a Mghly offen- 
sive decomposed sub- 
stance in all directions. 
I ordered it removed 
instantly, of course, and 
have sent for disinfect- 
ants. Must close to 
give further orders. 

P. S. — Seven workmen 
have just left. Shall

I have not heard from 
you — and do not want

Neither have I heard from the seed 
salesman — and four detectives have failed 
to find him! My confidence has been 
shamefully abused. The seeds he sold 
me at such fabulous prices were different 
kinds of fancy grass. I have 200 acres 
of it! 

It is needless to say I shall not attempt 
to go further with a war garden. I 
hardly think it was required, anywaj^ — 
the press has taken so little notice of it.
